A4 Body kit

[linet90]

I bought a rear windshield spoiler from rieger and i like their kit they have but i also found the caractere kit, just want to see what people like better

[MiracleWhips]

Honestly, neither.

These cars have so many styling details already, especially in the front , why the want for a body kit?

[Blake P]

I don't think there are any aftermarket kits that actually improve the look of the B8 A4. The Audi accessory add-on kit is my favorite, after the S Line kit.

[Nght&Day-B8]

at one point i was looking at the kits but ended up agreeing with the others.. but if you insist, the only aftermarket kit thats ALRIGHT is reiger, my fav. part of their kit is the trunk lip.. it looks very OEM

What do you guys think of a carbon fiber front splitter or lip? I think it would look good without being to extreme.

I had one custom made for my A4. Hopefully I'll have a chance to install it soon.

i ordered the roof spoiler in carbon i hope it looks good with with gray but i was going to get the front carbon lip next, i guess no one really likes the kits i want to drop the car put some coil overs on it first

The b8's are so badass the only thing I would change would be the rear exhaust valence.

I would like some more options for the standard dual outlet bumper.

Maybe you can put an avant one on your sedan. I also don't like how the tips are so far apart. I think they would look much better if they were closer together like on the b6 and b7's

cractere's rear valance is a beautiful piece of art

Personally, I have gone with the OEM kit and nice OEM wheels

I have an avant, but with the standard dual outlet valence.

At times I feel the car is a bit understyled in the rear than the front, but I wouldn't really want too much more else going on back there.

I think the ABT front spoiler is pretty nice and it complements the headlights of the b8, thats it.

[italian a4 1032]

i think the picture is of rieger sides not caractere
if you could get a body shop to remove the things around the fogs then it would look nice

[LI Audi]

I think both are a bit too "fast and furious' for my taste, like Blake said the S-Line or Audi Accessory kit are the best options

[Blake P]

A lip?

No, a splitter. I bought a replacement S4 splitter and had it wrapped in carbon, along with the rear diffuser "blade".

[jcs]

+2 for the Caractere Rear Valance. I WANT IT! and the side skirts.
The front bumper is UGLY imho.

[leviathan18]

there is any pic of the rear valence by caractere ?

I dunno, that looks terrible to me.

[italian a4 1032]

yes the rear is ugly, s4 rear is nice
does oettinger have anything out for the b8 yet?

[audiblack]

i dig the caractere front but it needs more subtle to make less aggressive and fast and furious like. Remind me a bit of the ISF. i like that bold look on an audi. the new Audi's are looking to sleek and feminine.

[linet90]

As the rear end goes I like the rieger one better with the dual exhaust but but the caractere look alright too here are some pics the white a4 is rieger

[Ryan_T]

I like the Caractere rear better.

[linet90]

I like the Caractere rear better.

its nice but it looks like a mouth dont you think, sorta like the new mazda cars with the clown face?

[Ryan_T]

Maybe, but it's preferable to the overly aggressive Rieger, imho. And the sides where it meets the tyres are cleaner.

I also like the new Mazda look. I think they're brilliant.

[audib8nyc]

the best kit is the s line kit i.m.o but i'm not a big fan of non oem parts no offence to anyone with a kit just not my style =)

[Nght&Day-B8]

is there any difference between the s-line rear bumper and the s4 rear bumper?

I was told it's the same exact part number.

[linet90]

I just got my roof spoiler in from rieger and it looks so rise its not worth the money im disappointed in them OEM is the way to go

[cory_can]

everything I've seen from Rieger on Audizine has been a disappointment...flimsy, and the fitment has been terrible with nasty gaps. The ABT and Votex (OEM) pieces look like they fit much better. Can't comment on the Caractere kits since I haven't seen any real world examples

[inNout]

I think the oem S4 rear is perfect the way it is.

[linet90]

here are to pics of the spoiler

Really? I was really interested in the Reiger trunk lip since its one of the most OEM looking parts on their kit. Blake P, wanna chime in on this.. hows your reiger lip fitting?

[Nght&Day-B8]

i hope thats true.. i need to buy one soon for the AWE exhaust. Thanks

[Spacecadet_CC]

Skip x2

But the Reiger lip looks really nice. But both of the kits are trying way too hard. You want the car to look mean and I think that these look cartoony.

The trunk lip spoiler is a well made quality piece that fits perfect. I have no complaints. On the other hand, Rieger "carbon look" stuff is not real CF and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

I found out the hard way just look at the pics i thought they sent me the wrong one

OEMpl.us looked it up and confirmed the S4 and S Line bumpers and side blades are the same exact parts.
